"Table is a different, more grown-up type of birthday party, where you sit at a communal table and share an incredible, no-substitutions, always-changing $125 pre-fixe Italian meal. You’ll be seated with your group and some strangers—who, in our experience, are usually pretty cool. In the past, we’ve enjoyed dishes like ricotta bolognese and a chicken milanese with sunflower seeds and sharp shaved parmesan. It sure beats doing shots and snacking on mediocre appetizers, especially because Boston doesn’t really have a worthwhile clubstaurant (which is somewhere you’ll never find us on our birthday)." - joel ang, dan secatore, tanya edwards
